I saw a recipe that you add 1/4c of cottage cheese to your scrambled eggs. I thought that was a great way to add more protein.

I am 4 weeks tomorrow & I just realized last night I can take 2 swallows at a time!!! It is wonderful!! I've really struggling to get all my liquids in (n this will defiantly help)

Can you post the link to Dr. Oz's YouTube video? I can't find it.

Does anyone know how may grams of protein are in a whopper jr. with cheese ( no roll or condiments, just meat and cheese)?

7 days of sugar free carnation instant breakfast with 1c of 1% milk 6x a day.

I have the same pain. I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow. I just noticed today....as I got up from the couch that my stomach wasn't hurting as bad. I feel like I'm finally healing inside.

My pre-op diet was 7 days of sugar free carnation instant breakfast with 1c of 1% milk, 6 a day. I lost 7lbs on that. I will never drink that again!!!!

I'm right there with you!! My surgery was Feb.26. A week after surgery I had lost 7lbs. The dr took me off all my bp meds. b/c I had low bp. Then I gained 2lbs, and haven't lost anything since. I think my scales lie!! My clothes feel looser. I know I lost, but the damn stupid scales won't say so!!!

Great!!!! I'm so happy for you.I think my stall has broken to, but I don't want to weigh myself until Monday. (LOL my weigh day)

You look GREAT!!!! Congrats!!

I have it to!! I'm 2 weeks out & still have a lot of bruising. I'm even bruised where I got the blood thinner injection on the sides of my stomach.

THANKS!!!!!!

I have a incision that every time I bend over, pulls open and bleeds. I'm 2 weeks post op. Do you think a stomach binder would help until it heals? There is no sign of infection. Here is an example... this morning I rolled over to turn the alarm off, I got up & it was bleeding again.

I would really appreciate your thoughts on this!! I started my nut. supervised diet on Sept. 21,2012. I weighed 215lbs. & I'm 5'2" & lost 20lbs. On my 1 week pre-op liquid diet I lost 6lbs. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Feb.26 2013. One week after surgery I has lost 6 more pounds. Last Monday I was feeling really sick, no energy, & faint....and my blood pressure was very low. I went to see my family doctor and he took me off all my meds. Thanks goodness!!! That was one of my main goals!! I've been off all my blood pressure meds. for 1 week today & I gained 2lbs. I'm still on the full liquid diet....I'm eating about 400-600 calories a day. I'm getting all my Water, Vitamins, and protien in. My problem is I HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING IN A WEEK & I GAIN 2LBS!! I know it has only been 2 weeks today from my surgery, & I still have swelling, AND my body is adjusting to no blood pressure meds. BUT I'm frustrated!! Am I exspecting too much to soon? Why am I lot losing?

Same here Jody!!! It took about 3-4 days post op for my vision to return normal. I was told it was from the nausea meds.
